Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for currency. While selling machine parts provides a simple income stream, many items serve additional purposes, and selling them might inadvertently hinder later progress.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making the sale of certain items inefficient. This guide highlights the most profitable items to sell and suggests optimal uses for your hard-earned credits.

Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

The most reliable indicator of an item's sellable value is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." While all items are technically sellable, this designation signifies both high resale value and complete lack of other in-game utility. Examples of items ideal for selling include:

• Fish and junk acquired through fishing.
• Jewelry
• Masks
• Animal meat

Many other items, while seemingly inconsequential, function as upgrade components for weapons and pod systems. Given the game's vast weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades for your preferred arsenal is crucial, eliminating the need to backtrack for previously discarded resources.

Best Ways To Spend Money in NieR: Automata

Despite the numerous sellable items, strategic spending remains vital. Beyond combat consumables, prioritize these three key areas:

Method Explanation Upgrade Plug-In Chip Capacity Expand your plug-in chip storage at the Resistance Camp's Maintenance Shop. This upgrade benefits all three loadouts, even after death. Fuse Plug-In Chips Combine lower-tier chips to create significantly more efficient higher-tier chips. Note that this process requires numerous identical chips and substantial currency per fusion. Upgrade Weapons & Pod Weapon and pod upgrades are relatively inexpensive, but acquiring the necessary resources can be time-consuming. Prioritizing these upgrades streamlines build optimization.
